Hello, again. After nine days of running great, the wireless connection started giving problems, with  applications becoming very slow to respond, pings to default LAN gateway had 25-75% loss and the max connection rate reported by dd-wrt was 1 Mbps. Memory usage had crept up from 79% to 96% earlier in the morning before the problem started.

Anyhows, connected to the router via telnet on the wireless side and performed a reload. Router came back and everything went back to normal.

I do VPN for at least 10 hrs/day plus have two other computers that connect via wireless, only.

For what it's worth, thought to give this forums' admins a heads up. Will let dd-wrt still in the router and see how it behaves for the next month or so, I'd hate to revert to using the wrg614 as a wireless bridge and fire up the Netscreen, which gets a bit hot for my taste.

Good night everyone!
